The proposal to terminate the Department of Education would have severe detrimental impacts on students across the nation. The Department plays a crucial role in ensuring equal access to quality education, distributing vital funding, setting academic standards, and protecting students' rights. Terminating it would disrupt essential services and programs that support students from all backgrounds and abilities. I urge you to reject this misguided effort that would undermine educational opportunities for millions of children and jeopardize their futures. Instead, we should be working to strengthen and improve the education system to provide every student with the tools they need to succeed.
